Ein Blatt Liebe: Rougon-Macquard Zyklus, Band 8
In diesem Band beschreibt Zola das Leben der Hélène Grandjean aus der Linie der Familie Mouret, einer jungen Frau, die während der gemeinsamen Übersiedlung nach Paris ihren Mann verloren hat und nun mit ihrer kränklichen zwölfjährigen Tochter in dieser ihr gänzlich unbekannten Stadt Fuß zu fassen versucht.
Und wieder dringt Zola in die Tiefe der Pariser Bourgeoisie ein, in ihre engen Moralvorstellungen, die Liebe und schließlich auch das Leben welken lassen.
Ein Blatt Liebe ist ein aufrüttelnder Roman über die Stellung einer alleinerziehenden Frau im 2. Kaiserreich.
Thomas Schendel – deutscher Schauspieler, Regisseur und Sprecher, bekannt aus mehreren hundert Theater-, Film- und Fernsehproduktionen, kürzlich ausgezeichnet auf dem Ignite-Filmfestival, England, mit dem Award „Best Actor" 2023 – liest, interpretiert und übersetzt Zolas Rougon-Macquart-Zyklus in wertschätzender Weise und eröffnet uns einen gleichermaßen modernen und doch authentischen Blick auf die französische Gesellschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts wie Émile Zola sie sah.

About the author
Émile Zola
2,791 books4,554 followersÉmile Zola was a prominent French novelist, journalist, and playwright widely regarded as a key figure in the development of literary naturalism. His work profoundly influenced both literature and society through its commitment to depicting reality with scientific objectivity and exploring the impact of environment and heredity on human behavior. Born and raised in France, Zola experienced early personal hardship following the death of his father, which deeply affected his understanding of social and economic struggles—a theme that would later permeate his writings.
Zola began his literary career working as a clerk for a publishing house, where he developed his skills and cultivated a passion for literature. His early novels, such as Thérèse Raquin, gained recognition for their intense psychological insight and frank depiction of human desires and moral conflicts. However, it was his monumental twenty-volume series, Les Rougon-Macquart, that established his lasting reputation. This cycle of novels offered a sweeping examination of life under the Second French Empire, portraying the lives of a family across generations and illustrating how hereditary traits and social conditions shape individuals’ destinies. The series embodies the naturalist commitment to exploring human behavior through a lens informed by emerging scientific thought.
Beyond his literary achievements, Zola was a committed social and political activist. His involvement in the Dreyfus Affair is one of the most notable examples of his dedication to justice. When Captain Alfred Dreyfus was wrongfully accused and convicted of treason, Zola published his famous open letter, J’Accuse…!, which condemned the French military and government for corruption and anti-Semitism. This act of courage led to his prosecution and temporary exile but played a crucial role in eventual justice for Dreyfus and exposed deep divisions in French society.
Zola’s personal life was marked by both stability and complexity. He married Éléonore-Alexandrine Meley, who managed much of his household affairs, and later had a long-term relationship with Jeanne Rozerot, with whom he fathered two children. Throughout his life, Zola remained an incredibly prolific writer, producing not only novels but also essays, plays, and critical works that investigated the intersections between literature, science, and society.
His legacy continues to resonate for its profound impact on literature and for his fearless commitment to social justice. Zola’s work remains essential reading for its rich narrative detail, social critique, and pioneering approach to the realistic portrayal of human life. His role in the Dreyfus Affair stands as a powerful example of the intellectual’s responsibility to speak truth to power.
